Is "Right > Easy" ?

P.S: This being my first blog please ignore my grammatical errors and suggest me ways in which I can improve.

Right > Easy! I am sure after reading this phrase two questions may pop in your mind. POP POP!!

First, What does mean? Very simple, it means choosing the right is more important than choosing the easy.

Second, From where did I get this topic? Well! if you are a Potterhead you would know. ;)

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore says this line to Harry, just after the traumatic death of Cedric Diggory and the return of The Great Lord Voldemort.

Dark times lie ahead of us and there will be a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right.

Dumbledore knew that if everyone is willing to make sacrifices and cling to what is good, that's how victory will be achieved. Instead of choosing the easy way of joining hands or dying by the hands of Voldemort. Looking at the situation he was right as always.

The beauty of this quote is it can be applied in our real life as well, we always end up being in a situation where we have to choose between right and easy. If we ask a wise person they would say choose "what is right". Choosing the right path may give you pain or struggle for a short term of your life but if u look at the long them it gives u comfort and happiness.

Let me give you a lame example If you copy in your class test (Choosing easy), you get high grades and you become the stud of your class which will give you happiness until you write your final exams where you couldn't copy eventually you fail in your exams and end up being in the same class for another year. I am sure that won't bring you happiness unless you have a crush on your junior. HEHE! :P. Well coming to the topic, I am sure you got my point.

Now let's take another scenario, Assume a talented middle-class Engineer is looking for a job who has to take care of EMIs in thousands, education of his younger siblings and also has to take care of his sick mother. Let's say again he has two options,

1. An easy job in which has no interest or passion but can get a salary 25 Lakhs a year but at the same time his growth will be minimum and his salary can go up to 30 Lakhs a year not more.

2. An Engineering job in which he is interested and passionate (right job) in which his initial salary of 3 to 4 Lakhs a year and after an experience of 15 to 20 Years his salary would be in crores.

Now, which one should he choose, if he goes by what the wise people say ie. "Right > Easy" and choose the second engineering job, he would never be able to take care of his immediate financial requirement. He may be happy professionally and may have a good and smooth life in future but his family will be having a hard time for almost 15 Years.

And if he thinks the other way and goes against the wise people ie. "Easy > Right" and choose an easy job, he would be able to take care of all his bills, EMIs and all the other expenses. In this case, he may not be professionally happy but he and his family will be happy and will have a smooth life all along.

So my question to everyone which is the better option "Right > Easy" or "Easy > Right"?

Which is better, struggling with family at first and later having a rich life or having a smooth life all along? I never said I am right. I wanna know your option and your point of view discussed in this article.
